The World Is Right Once More

Now Listening To:

You know, Apple Inc. had me worried there for a bit. What with releasing some portable hardware that actually beats my current mp3 player and PDA combined (if you can edit the calendar) and the approaching release of their new OS.

But, all is right again. After seeing the new imac in jbhfi, I have to agree (with a tremendous amount of begrudging admittance), that it is very aesthetically pleasing. But, it does contain one tinsy flaw - it only has an 18-bit screen.

Now, one may not realise the significance of this revelation, so allow me indulge my predudices for one small moment of your time. Current MS windows, with all current compatible hardware, display at 32-bit. This results in a "sparkly" or "grainy" effect - in other words, pixellation.

Now, if you're spending upwards of $1700 or whatever they are on a shiny new 20" iMac, would you not expect it to have better picture quality than the most basic desktop PC?

Ok, that probably means nothing to the mac fanboys out there, but now the world is starting to make sense again. Just have to explain away watching the latest series of Dr Who, and it's all good.
